hookups96 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Just got the standard Red/Orange from Secret Society. Surprised it isn’t a gatefold jacket. Still haven’t gotten my shipping notification for the Secret Society edition yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsNJazz Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Damn, the secretly society variant is definitely the best one, kinda bummed I went with the TTL variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The shades of blue do work with the cover art but are making it super hard to tell what one I ordered lol. I grabbed the US Secretly one which I think I'll sell, just needed the bundle. I also grabbed a German variant from HHV which is the last color and digging it, but think I like the Newburry shade of coke clear slightly better.

Yeah this is prime "mockups may not match actual products" Stoked for my arrivals: bundle, Euro for signed cover + CD, Secretly Society, Newbury, and black. Also awaiting 2 Mariana Trench paintings. I guess all that money I got back from tickets went right back to em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I know they’re all different but for some reason every variant looks so similar haha. Shitty Rambo, CeCeCe, Fowty Dollaz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbury’s really caught my eye, too, as I was thumbing through those photos above... but I think a big part of it is the background that they’re taking the photos against. I believe Newbury’s edition is a basic clear that looks much nicer and “coke bottle” esque in that photo vs. reality, just for what it’s worth. Could be wrong but Newbury seldom deviates from the descriptions or mockups they advertise, and they’re pretty good at spelling out when there’s a shade of color in their translucent variants. Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hoping that Euro version I ordered ends up being blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I still can't decide on a variant, there's too many of them. I feel so weird having not PO'd this yet, but also, there's just so many variants still available that it doesn't feel like the usual mad rush to get the one I want before its gone. I'm sure I've missed out on plenty of the variant combos by now, but it's a weird feeling. MCDELTAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I usually do when I have an indifference to all the variants available haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I usually do when I have an indifference to all the variants available haha Yeah, for sure. Which is cool! Too many times I've been hit with that HOBBYist buyer's remorse after a trip to a local shop coming home to add things to the Discogs collection and see I could have just bought a prettier/rarer/more colorful variant online for the same price. Would be cool to one day post-quarantine see this in a shop and be happy with the variant haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowty Dollaz Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Honest fan review: I took all this in just now, liners, lyrics, art, and even bonus 7". Packaging: would've loved a gatefold with die cut, and that's my only complaint. More of a preference, even. It's good. There is no denying that. If you like Cassadaga and/ or The People's Key, this album will stand strong for you. There really are mild callbacks to older albums, especially in the lyrics. TPK is probably one of my favorite BEs LPs, probably due to life experiences, and this will more than likely follow closely especially because of oddly specific relatable content (recently dead brothers and the like), but I'd argue the album as a whole is largely vague enough to be prophetic (as is not uncommon in later Bright Eyes albums) and even specific enough (to me) to be eerie. Overall, as a huge fan who has waited a long time to hear this: on first listen 8.5/ 10. +Bonus points because the LPs sounded really clean. I usually only get listening time at night, so I have $120 headphones to really listen. They are usually really good at bringing out noise, clicks, and pops 🙄 However, these LPs were very quiet despite side C being a little warp-y. The 45, on the other hand, was a little more noisy. It's like if 45 were turned into a 45: orange, obnoxiously loud where it needn't be, and covered in blood. soundofsulfur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillalivetui Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Just got my copy from secretly, but there was no download code in the jacket. This happen to anyone else or did they just not include it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDELTAT Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Download code doesn't work anyways yet. Got my Secretly copy and now I realized why the Orange exists. The reverse side of the jack is orange/white spirits going into the wormhole. The debate continues which fits the artwork more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
